The original poster asked for a word processor, not a desktop publishing
system. For word processing, WfW with ATM is as close as anything else I've
seen on the PC or Mac.

If you want graphics as well as text (i.e. a DTP system), the only remotely
usable and accurate WYSIWYG programs I've seen are Calamus for the Atari ST
and Ready, Set, Go! for the Mac.
